The Welsh Assembly Government have announced a badger cull in Wales as part of a strategy to tackle bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in cattle. Ministers in England are still to decide whether to go ahead with a cull of badgers as a way of helping to control bovine TB in cattle.
The RSPCA is concerned that a cull could cause enormous suffering, particularly if methods such as snaring are used to 'remove' these beautiful creatures.
